All reviewsBit.Trip RUNNER2010
4 out of 5 starsCommander Video in full Stride Bit.Trip Runner is the 4th game in the series of Bit.Trip games from the creators Gaijin Games . It mixes the Music/Rhythm genre with the platformer of the atari 2600 age. You play as Commander Video , the heavily pixelated man that runs through various stages avoiding obstacles and collecting gold bars that add to you score. The goal is to run from one end of the stage to the end…
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth2009
4 out of 5 starsMiles Edgeworth, Prosecutor. Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is the next in the series of Ace Attorney games which started as GBA titles in Japan before making the jump the DS for a US release. Not much has changed in this one either; you'll find yourself collecting evidence and questioning witnesses to solve a murder mystery in a nearly identical format to the previous games. The gameplay involves you…
Final Fantasy XII2006
3 out of 5 starsFinal Fantasy makes the jump to Real-time battles in this installment. I was skeptical at first about a change in the traditional combat system that made the series for 10 games, but once you give it a chance it can really suck you in. If you disliked the turn-based combat of the previous games this should be a very nice breath of fresh air. Unfortunately Square Enix didn't really test how well this system holds up…
Xenogears1998
4 out of 5 starsThere are certain parts of Xenogears that are beyond anything I've seen (and still haven't) in a video game. But then there are a few things that drag the game down from being the perfect being, and that literally crushes my soul so hard that I cannot ever forgive Square-Enix for rushing this game. I say "ever" because I'm confident they are never going to come back to this franchise and do it right, and that is…

Oct 14, 2010
It's like you start playing, then 300 turns later you check the time and go "oh christ!". I'm really enjoying it though. Some of the leaders are really fun, while some can be frustrating if you get the wrong map. For example Iroqoi have an advantge being near tons of Forest tiles, and if you are playing on the Island-type map you lose a LOT of that advantage because there are very limited fores...
Starcraft 2 1v1 is like taking an exam..
Jul 13, 2010
We require more Vespene Gas. I was thinking about why I don't necessarily want to play Starcraft 2 all the time even though I think it's a great game. It is because of how formulaic some of the matches tend to be, mostly on a one-on-one basis. The best comparison I could come up with is that it is like taking an exam in school. Each match requires to you to essentially answer a bunch of questio...
Am I the only one Super excited for this game?
Apr 29, 2010
I remember first seeing the trailer for this game a couple E3s ago and was immediately interested in what this game was going to be. After a couple years go by I start wondering what the hell happened to this game. I guess it turns out that they were still working on it, putting the total development time at almost 6 years. They really don't want to half-ass this game, and arguably for a good r...
A morning of boredum, thanks to Nero Burning Rom
Apr 26, 2010
Sigh, I was all set up to try and stay up this morning until at least afternoon so I can could try to re-align my sleep schedule this week and next. So my morning was going to consist of long hours of Xenosaga 3 and a Monster Lo-Carb energy drink. But that was all destroyed by one stupid program. My collection of Xenosaga. Top 2 are old and too scratched, bottom are new. I played Xenosaga 1 and...
Seems like every year that goes by, I like FFX more and more.
Feb 13, 2010
Final Fantasy X When Final Fantasy X first came out it was the subject of abuse from nearly everyone. Even hardcore fans were bashing it for its changes to formula and "annoying" main character Tidus (pronounced Tee-dus). 'How could they do this to Final Fantasy?!' people cried once the game was released. I feel like I was maybe part of that crowd for a while there. I played it when it came out...
WoW.. Ruined by Activision
Dec 3, 2009
I was recently linked this blog post about what WoW has become in Wrath of the Lich King: http://wowriot.gameriot.com/blogs/Fives-the-Paladin-Hates-the-Blues/Six-Words-that-Terrify-Blizzard (I'm kind of just hijacking the blog and posting it on mine, but whatever.. this expresses it so perfectly for me who was a hardcore raider for the better part of 4 years.) It's a long read and I apologize a...
